    In fact, growing numbers of people are saying that worry and stress related to coronavirus have negatively impacted their mental health. Regardless of where you think you are going or how you are feeling, James has a word for all those who find themselves in the midst of great trials.

    In this short book of James, 108 verses, James the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Pastor of the first church at Jerusalem address the subject of Christianity from a very practical view. He does not try to debate philosophy and teach doctrinal theology. He simply states in chapter one ...read more

    The indwelling of the Spirit gives people a conviction to proclaim a truth even in the face of unrelenting persecution and pressure. In the heat of the pressure will you continue to proclaim truth in the resurrected one?

    The decisions we make in haste brings to the fore front, our pride, and ego that can and will cause sin to over power our better judgement.

    When we give our word, we are to stand-by it. James tells us that our Yes be yes and our No to be no. But what happens when we make a decision that turns out to be wrong? Do you continue in the wrong or do you change your mind? Many of our decisions would be different if we had slept on them over ...read more

    Fitting In

    comedian Lenny Bruce gives our Christian psychology a metaphorical cattle prod shock when he said, “Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.’” I suspect it has a lot to do with fitting in.

    “Fitting In” John 17:11-19 I read the prologue to a story called Girl in the Middle. The girl is Kim Satinsky who is in eighth grade. She says, “You would think that being in a clique is fun but take my word for it: It’s not. They make me wear expensive things when I’m not really rich and tell me ...read more

    Introduction: A. You are probably familiar with the traditional Russian parable about the hunter and the bear. 1. One day a hunter raised his rifle and took careful aim at a large bear. 1.
